Subject: Effect of multidimensional arrays on the Linux kernel?

Instead of reading books I decided to screw around on the internet (sad face) , I don’t know much about kernel development but I have been writing in C for about 15 years

But let’s say you have a data structure that holds information about a io structure, and we take it to 2 arrays to 2 dimension, making a matrice or some sort of graph

A function organizes it by char *description, and an ID system, like PIDS, I know it’ll consume a lot of ram but it provides a layer of parallization, and can be used as a cache

Does this sound plausible?

I have to go read that Linux kernel book, my intent was to rewrite the scheduler so here I go

Thank you for reading
